tr; 1929 Macmillan imprint, c 1928, 3d printing 1929, inscribed 1929; the artist Mark Rothko [the 25 year-old Russian immigrant Marcus Rothkowitz] was hired to help draw the maps [e.g., map on page 43] but felt he was not sufficiently credited in the book and so he sued Lewis Browne, a rabbi turned popular author, but lost the case [see The Trials of Mark Rothko, by James E.B.
